About Jennifer
Jennifer Visconti is a licensed mental health counselor in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, grief, and parenting challenges. She brings seven years of professional experience and a direct, respectful style to conversations about change. Jennifer aims to meet people where they are and focus on practical next steps.
Her approach is warm and interactive. She listens without judgment and works alongside each person to identify strengths and goals. Sessions are collaborative and geared toward small, doable shifts that add up over time.
Jennifer draws from several therapeutic approaches to shape each plan. She uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change, cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thought patterns, and mindfulness practices to calm intense emotions. Client-centered care guides how she holds the conversation and keeps it focused on the person’s priorities.
She has experience working in correctional settings with people facing severe mental health and substance use challenges, so she is familiar with high-stress and complex situations. That background informs a practical, no-shame attitude in sessions.
Jennifer believes people know their own stories and that therapy is a place to build on existing strengths. She invites people to take small steps toward a more manageable, satisfying life and offers steady support while they do so.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Motivational Interviewing focuses on your own reasons for change. It uses guided conversation to build motivation and find small first steps. This approach can help with addiction, ambivalence about change, and moving through difficult decisions.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It uses values-based goals to guide action and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the person’s lead. This style supports people who need understanding, empathy, and space to figure things out.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods that fit your needs. Adjustments are made as you go so the work stays practical and relevant.
The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists can also offer different styles of session pacing and focus to match work, family, or other time constraints. -
